Wind power resources on the eastern U.S. continental shelf are est.docxalanfhall8953
Wind power resources on the eastern U.S. continental shelf are estimated to be over 400 GW, several times the electricity used by U.S. eastern coastal states. The first U.S. developer proposes to build 130 large (40 story tall) wind turbines in Nan- tucket Sound, just outside Massachusetts state waters. These would provide 420 MW at market prices, enough electricity for most of Cape Cod. The project is opposed by a vigorous and well-financed coalition. Polling shows local public opinion on the project almost equally divided. This article draws on semistructured interviews with residents of Cape Cod to analyze values, beliefs, and logic of supporters and oppo- nents. For example, one value found to lead to opposition is that the ocean is a special place that should be kept natural and free of human intrusion. One line of argument found to lead to support is: The war in Iraq is problematic, this war is “really” over petroleum, Cape Cod generates electricity from oil, therefore, the wind project would improve U.S. security. Based on analysis of the values and reasoning behind our interview data, we identify four issues that are relevant but not currently part of the debate.
Introduction
Recent assessments of renewable energy show that wind power has, since the turn of the century, become cost-competitive in the sites with the most favorable wind regimes (Herzog et al., 2001). Until very recently, large-scale North American wind resources were believed to exist in the Great Plains of the United States, northern Canada, and central Canada only (Grubb & Meyer, 1993). Although these huge resources are enough to meet the entire continent’s electrical needs, they are distant from the large coastal cities where electricity is primarily consumed—imposing a need for costly large-scale transmission lines (Cavallo, 1995). In just the last couple of years, it has been recog- nized that the Atlantic Ocean also has a large wind resource on the continental shelf, close to East Coast cities. Three or four manufacturers have developed large wind elec- tric turbines designed to be placed offshore, in waters up to 20–30 m in depth. To date these have been placed only in European waters. By late 2003, the resources, the tech- nology, and the economic viability had all come together in the Eastern United States, potentially allowing large-scale deployment to begin by 2005.
The furthest advanced of a handful of proposed U.S. offshore wind developments is in Nantucket Sound, off the Southern coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This proposal has engendered a widespread, well-organized, well-financed, and politically potent op- position. This movement’s strength, and the apparent contradiction of such opposition coming from a population thought of as politically liberal and environmentally con- cerned, have garnered national press coverage (e.g., Burkett, 2003). A second project was proposed by the Long Island Power Authority for the southern edge of Long Island, with an .
Vortex bladeless wind energy works by maximizing vortex shedding from a vertical mast to generate electricity. As wind flows past the mast, vortices are shed at specific frequencies depending on wind speed. The mast oscillates from the vortex shedding, and this kinetic energy is converted to electricity by a generator located at the base. Vortex bladeless has advantages over traditional wind turbines in that it has no moving parts high above the ground, is more bird-friendly, and can operate at lower wind speeds. While efficiency can be improved, it provides an innovative new approach to harnessing wind power without blades.
This document discusses offshore wind technology and provides an overview of the current state of offshore wind. Some key points:
- Offshore wind turbines are now up to 3.6 MW and have designs optimized for offshore conditions like installation via cranes and helicopter access.
- The cost of offshore wind energy has fallen significantly from 40 cents/kWh in the early 1980s to estimates of 3-6 cents/kWh currently and projections of 5 cents/kWh by 2014 due to larger turbines, reliability improvements, and infrastructure upgrades.
- The U.S. has good offshore wind resources and developing offshore wind could help address the need to locate wind farms closer to coastal population centers where transmission and grid connections are
The document provides an overview of the history and development of wind energy, including key events from ancient times to modern utility-scale wind farms. It discusses the advantages of wind power such as being renewable and producing no pollution, and covers wind turbine design technology, siting considerations, and challenges including intermittent output and impacts on birds. The economics of wind farm design and costs are also addressed.
Wind Energy Systems in the Urban LandscapeCarlos Ortiz
The document discusses the potential for small wind turbines in urban environments, noting that while technical challenges exist, none are insurmountable with proper design and risk management. It explores early examples of small wind turbines installed in cities and argues that reducing costs and widespread installations could provide real energy benefits, especially when combined with energy management strategies. Overall, the document presents small wind as a viable distributed renewable energy option for urban areas.
This document discusses future offshore renewable energy technology and reliability. It outlines various renewable energy conversion methods being developed, including wind, solar, biomass, ocean currents, waves, and geothermal. It discusses typical offshore platform types that can be used to support offshore wind farms, as well as installation and maintenance costs. Enhanced geothermal systems have the potential to provide reliable, cost-competitive renewable energy due to low maintenance costs and the vast offshore geothermal resources available globally.
This document provides information about the MEMS 5705 Wind Energy Systems course at Washington University for Spring 2017. It includes the course prerequisites, instructor details, grading criteria, textbook information, and course content such as taxonomy of wind turbines, current wind energy market trends in the US, and comparisons of different power plant costs and capacities. The document also summarizes the history of modern wind turbine development and pioneers such as Palmer Putnam who demonstrated one of the first multi-megawatt wind turbines connected to the electric grid in the 1940s.

“The oceans are in constant motion, rippling, swirling, swelling, retreating. As wind blows across the surface, waves are formed. As the gravitational forces of earth, moon, and sun interact, tides are created. These are among the most powerful and constant dynamics on earth.
Wave- and tidal-energy systems harness natural oceanic flows to generate electricity. A variety of companies, utilities, universities, and governments are working to realize the promise of consistent and predictable ocean energy, which currently accounts for a fraction of global electricity generation. Early technologies date back more than two centuries, with modern designs emerging in the 1960s, thanks especially to the work of Japanese naval commander Yoshio Masuda and his 1947 invention of the oscillating water column (OWC). As a wave or tide rises within an OWC, air is displaced and pushed through a turbine, creating electricity. With the ongoing movement of ocean waters, air is compressed and decompressed continuously. It is the same principle used in whistling buoys, which draw on compressed air to create noise near treacherous shoals or outcroppings. Today, there are several OWC power plants in the world.
The appeal of wave and tidal energy is its constancy: No energy storage is required. And while communities often resist the presence of wind turbines along ridges or shoreline.
Onshore Wind Turbines Market Is Dazzling Worldwide |shikhasony666
Onshore wind turbines are large structures that convert wind energy into electrical power by using three rotor blades attached to a hub to capture kinetic energy from the wind. The blades spin a generator housed in a nacelle mounted atop a tower. Before installing turbines, developers assess wind resources to find optimal locations with strong, consistent winds where turbines can efficiently generate electricity. Onshore wind power is a growing renewable energy source that helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Small wind turbines placed strategically throughout Boston could harness the city's wind energy and significantly reduce fossil fuel usage. Locations with wind tunnel effects near highways, bridges, and tall buildings could support compact vertical axis turbines. Initial calculations show that installing 1,312 turbines could generate up to 3.5 MW of daily power, equivalent to 14,737 homes. Further expansion across 18 miles could produce 7 MW daily. Harnessing urban wind resources through distributed small-scale turbines is a practical approach to clean energy production with localized benefits.

This document analyzes renewable technology options to decrease fuel consumption on large ships. A simulation was conducted to evaluate the potential energy savings from rigid wing sails and solar panels on a 100m passenger ship. The simulation found that wind power from two 500m^2 rigid wing sails could provide an 18% reduction in annual fuel consumption. While solar panels provided minimal benefits due to intermittency, optimizing sail technologies and route selection may further reduce fuel usage and emissions. Energy storage provided only a 2% additional efficiency gain for load leveling applications.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

The Need for Close Collaboration Between
the Engineering and Atmospheric Science
Communities
• Atmospheric dynamics clearly have a significant impact on
wind turbine operations and longevity beyond just the
amount of wind energy available for power production
• It is likely that turbine load reduction will require a more
detailed knowledge of turbulent atmospheric structures and
mitigation approaches that include real-time atmospheric
measurements in the control scheme
• The future ability to utilize operational weather forecast
models to warn of potentially harmful events as well as
predicting future power production will contribute to
increased wind farm productivity and efficiency

Conclusions
• A tremendous opportunity exists for engineers trained in a
range of disciplines to contribute to the development of a
mature wind energy industry poised to meet the 2030 goal.
• The same holds true for meteorologists who wish to work in
numerical forecasting and those who enjoy problem solving
and working with engineers toward a common goal.
• Future progress on overcoming the barriers discussed and
improving the reliability and worth of wind-generated
electricity will depend on the extent these problems are
approached using a multi-disciplinary, synergistic
methodology.
